When facing a diagnosis of breast cancer, emotional support and compassion are as important as the physical treatment. At Bethesda Women’s Health Center, we provide proactive care through our Breast Health Navigator, a Registered Nurse, to help patients from diagnosis through treatment.

Regardless of where you are in your personal journey, our Breast Health Navigator recognizes that efficient, personalized, and compassionate care is especially important at this critical time.
